In embroidery class we are working to the Term 4 theme of Citizens of the World to design and create a badge or patch. Our designs will include symbols and icons relating to culture, identity and interests.
Week 1
In week one we looked at the Bayeux tapestry and noticed the people, animals, plants, and buildings in this historical work. We learned three basic stitches: running stitch, back stitch and chain stitch. The challenge of threading a needle has been overcome by all!
Week 2
In week two we began to explore how embroidery weaves culture, history, and identity into each individual piece. Straight stitch, blanket stitch, and French knot will be used, along with others we have mastered, to write our names with thread.
